Daily Restoration A Call to Continual Renewal
Repent and turn back. So that your sins may be wiped out. He doesn't say it's over for you.   📍 📍 📍 No. He says your sins will be wiped out. Just as we read in Psalm 51. Washed away, white as snow. No more sin before the Lord. Remember, he says your sins will be as far as the east is from the west. Cast out. No more. Remember, you can't stand in front of God. Sinful. Isaiah stood before God. He said, Woe is me, I'm a sinful man, I'm a people of unclean lips, and I dwell among the people of unclean lips. What did God do? Place the coal upon his lips to burn and to seal and to cleanse him from his unrighteousness so that he can now speak on behalf of God. Again, that fire of refining, that fire of purification that has taken place. It's indeed that same fire of the Holy Spirit that fell upon those individuals in the day of Pentecost to purify them as they're speaking forth. It's the same purification method that we go through to be able to speak on behalf of God. If indeed you are one who first and foremost denies yourself, #bible #repentance#1689#tictok #Bible #ChristianTikTok#Jesus #Faith #Church #God #BibleVerse #Scripture #Gospel #ReformedTheology #Reformed#Calvinism #SolaScriptura #TULIP #Doctrine #ReformedChurch#Theology #BiblicalTruth #BibleStudy #ChristianTeaching #DailyDevotional#BiblicalWisdom #WordOfGod #BibleJournaling#TheologyTalks#ChurchHistory#ChristianLiving #ChristianEncouragement #ForYouPage #ForYou #TikTokChurch#FaithOverFear #ChristianTikTokFamily #SpiritualGrowth #EncourageOthers#GodIsGood #ChristianCommunity #ReformedInBelleVernon, #ChristianTikTok
A Message of Redemption and Hope
In Acts 3, we see Peter and John demonstrating the boldness and clarity of their calling. As witnesses of the resurrection and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan, they are obedient to Christ’s command to be His witnesses—even in places of adversity. They speak boldly to those who had a hand in crucifying Jesus, declaring without hesitation, “You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer released to you. You killed the source of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this” (Acts 3:14-15, CSB). This bold proclamation underscores the depth of humanity’s rebellion: “You took the life of the source of life.” The one who gave breath to humanity took His last breath at their hands. Yet, in their ignorance, they unknowingly fulfilled God’s sovereign plan: “In this way, God fulfilled what he had predicted through all the prophets—that his Messiah would suffer” (Acts 3:18, CSB). Peter’s response to their sin is strikingly gracious. He addresses them as “brothers and sisters” and acknowledges their ignorance: “And now, brothers and sisters, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your leaders also did” (Acts 3:17, CSB). This echoes Christ’s prayer on the cross: “Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34, CSB). Peter does not condemn them; rather, he offers them the opportunity to repent: “Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19-20, CSB). The call to repentance is both an invitation to grace and a path to restoration, aligning with Psalm 51:7: “Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow” (CSB). Peter ties the events of Christ’s life and death to the grand narrative of Scripture. He references Deuteronomy 18:15: “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him” (CSB). This points to Jesus as the ultimate prophet and mediator, much like Moses, who led God’s people out of bondage. Jesus’ life mirrors Moses’ in profound ways—both faced death as infants (Exodus 1:22; Matthew 2:16), served as mediators between God and His people, and led their followers through “wilderness” experiences. Just as Moses interceded for the Israelites, Jesus intercedes for us. Peter reminds his audience of God’s covenantal promises: “And all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring because you have obeyed my command” (Genesis 22:18, CSB). Through Jesus, the fulfillment of these promises extends to all who believe, uniting us as part of Abraham’s family by faith (Galatians 3:7). Peter’s message also connects the “time of refreshing” to the ultimate restoration promised by God. This “refreshing” is a foretaste of the restoration of all things: “Heaven must receive him until the time of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about through his holy prophets from the beginning” (Acts 3:21, CSB). The restoration Peter speaks of is the undoing of the fall, where sin, death, and suffering will be no more (Revelation 21:4). As we navigate our own “wilderness,” we, like the Israelites, are sustained by God’s provision. We must resist the temptation to long for “the good old days” and instead focus on the future restoration promised in Christ. Ecclesiastes 7:10 reminds us, “Don’t say, ‘Why were the former days better than these?’ since it is not wise of you to ask this” (CSB). The seasons of our lives reflect God’s purposes. While winter may feel bleak, it prepares the way for the renewal of spring. Likewise, the trials of this life prepare us for the joy of eternal restoration. “For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory” (2 Corinthians 4:17, CSB). Finally, Peter’s reliance on “the name” carries deep significance. To the Jewish audience, God’s name—Hashem—was sacred. Peter’s proclamation that “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12, CSB) is a declaration of Jesus’ divine identity. Jesus is the name above all names, the source of life, and the mediator of restoration. As believers, we are called to live as witnesses, pointing others to the refreshing found in Christ and the hope of restoration to come. May we embrace this mission with the same boldness and grace demonstrated by Peter and John, trusting fully in the sovereignty and faithfulness of our God.
